This is an original woodblock print about 40 years old. This woodblock print is from my family seven-decade Japanese woodblock prints and Asian Arts collections. The size of this ORIGINAL woodblock print is 20 1/4x 14 3/4 inches, which is MUCH LARGER than the traditional Shin Hanga woodblock prints. All four borders are intact. The title of the print “Akasaka” is at the lower right corner of the print. The artist’s PENCIL SIGNATURE and his chop mark, the series title of this woodblock print “Kisokaido Street " and the LIMITED-NUMBER (97/500) are in the bottom border. You can clearly tell they are handwritten in pencil by him by the depth of pencil indentation into the original Japanese mulberry paper. This woodblock print is not attached to any backing paper or cardboard and strong ink bleeding can be seen through the back of the original Japanese Washi paper. As far as I can tell there are no defects, stains, or foxing, this original woodblock print is IN EXCELLENT CONDITION.
